I Want It That Way

Max Martin / Andreas Carlson

• You are my fire
• My one desire
• Believe when I say
• That I want it that way
• But we are two worlds apart
• Can't reach to your heart
• When you say
• That I want it that way
• ::CHORUS::
• Tell me why
• Ain't nothin' but a heartache
• Tell me why
• Ain't nothin' but a mistake
• Tell me why
• I never wanna here you say
• I want it that way
• =========================================
• Am I your fire
• Your one desire
• Yes, I know--
• It's too late
• But I want it that way
• *****CHORUS*****

• ::BRIDGE::
• Now I can see that we've fallen apart
• From the way that it used to be, yeah
• No matter the distance I want you to know
• That deep down inside of me...
• ...You are my fire
• The one desire
• You are, you are, you are....
• Don't wanna hear you say!!!
• *****CHORUS***** (2x)
• 'Cause I want it that way...
